Here is a thumbnail for a most likely controversial video I am working on.
I saw a week ago some discourse about motion inputs in fighting games, strongly apposing their removal. Since Work Strike has directional inputs and avoided motion inputs entirely, I thought it'd be interesting to give my reasoning behind that decision. I don't believe they should be removed from all fighting games, but I do believe they are a nasty hump for new players that makes the genre unappealing to get into.
But my perspective will be much more fleshed out once in video form.
